Coupling elements

Coupling elements

HYDROKOMP coupling elements are made of stainless materials. This means they can be used for all fluids and gases that are not aggressive. Special designs, e.g. for steam or other media, are available on request.

HYDROKOMP offers two operating modes, only "unpressurized couplings" or "pressurized couplings".
The pressureless couplable elements may be coupled under pressure up to 25 bar if the specified volume flows are not exceeded. At higher pressures, there is a risk that high fluid flow velocities will destroy the soft seal in the non-return valve. This means that when coupling air up to 10 bar, the pressureless couplable elements should always be used, even when coupling under pressure.
The elements that can be coupled under pressure may be coupled on one and/or both sides up to the maximum specified operating pressure.
The plug-in versions are particularly suitable for panel mounting in multiple clamping systems. Screw-in elements can be screwed directly into the fixture body, e.g. of a quick-change system. There they are ideal as an interface for media transfer.

The coupling nipple and coupling mechanism are coaxially opposite each other before the coupling process. If the coupling nipple and coupling mechanism are coupled together and are under pressure, a coupling force acts between them. The coupling force must be absorbed externally in a force-fit or form-fit manner.

The face-side, axially acting sealing surfaces of the coupling elements must be protected against contamination. Good results can be achieved by rinsing and then blowing off with air. The mechanics are sealed at the bottom of the locating bore.
